Jackson Davis narrows list to 6

Lafayette High School forward Jackson Davis, who withdrew a commitment to Rice last month and reopened his recruitment, has narrowed his list of colleges to six, with Rice out of the mix. The 6-foot-8 Davis

The Davises now plan to work on scheduling official visits. Jackson Davis has three official visits available. He visited Rice and Columbia last fall before making his initial commitment.

Davis never signed with the Owls, then had a terrific senior year, so he decided to explore his options this spring.

He has become one of the most highly coveted available players in the country. He also had earned offers from Oklahoma State, Mississippi State, Georgia, Georgia Tech, Central Florida and Florida State.

Louisville assistant Wyking Jones watched Davis in this month's 11th Region Tournament, but the Cardinals didn't make a scholarship offer. Davis' father, Johnathon, played for current U of L coach Rick Pitino at the University of Kentucky. Arizona State coach Herb Sendek was an assistant on the UK staff at that time.

Ginger Davis said the family got "very little feedback" from Louisville after the game Jones watched him. She said the family has focused on schools that had shown strong interest and "have an immediate need for his skill set and where he can be an impact player form the beginning."
